Building record TQ 55 SW 314 - Life Family Tattoo, 4 The Shambles, Sevenoaks

No 4 is a very interesting unlisted small building of white painted brick and tile construction with tile hanging to the first floor. The LHS has a part stone plinth and would appear to be earlier than the wholly brick construction of the RHS. The chimney on this side is of yellow brick like no. 5 and so is its brick frontage (beneath layers of white paint). The shop front and small (blocked) window to the left of the door may be of the 18th or 19th century and the use of yellow brick indicates that no. 4 may be later than the building to which it is joined on the LHS, and possibly contemporary with no. 5. The tile hung finish may be a later addition and both sides of the building have replacement, three light windows with wooden frames, on the upper floor. (1)
